Kids Come First® is a smart and sensible way for every parent to sort out their separation! Because getting the right specialist support and expert guidance, as early as possible, benefits both you andyour children!

Kids Come First® is a unique support workshop & specialist child-focused training program suitable for all separated parents.

We deliver mindful, confidential group; solo or joint parent workshops that offer expert strategies to help you and your children adapt to the changing ‘shape’ of your family as you navigate your way through the emotional and complex separation or divorce process. We also provide positive guidance on how to create a collaborative and effective co-parenting partnership beyond your separation or divorce.

Our professional trainers have experience in child counselling, family therapy and family mediation, enabling us to deliver unique, person-centred, customised support to parents during the difficult time of family breakdown.

How do our workshops help?

Becoming a separated parent is a dramatic change in anyone’s life. It takes some time to adjust and adapt to the many changes and parenting challenges that arise. So it’s not uncommon for parents to find themselves struggling to maintain positive communication and an effective co-parenting relationship with an ex-partner. Sadly, all too often this can have a profoundly negative impact on children who seek parental reassurance.

Our aim is to reduce the conflict and help parents avoid the pitfalls of the family court system where possible. We achieve this by providing the right intervention as early as possible – supporting you as a parent when you need it most! Because when you are coping well – your children are too!

How do I make an enquiry?

Parents can choose to join a group or arrange their own solo workshop. Or you can book a private co-parenting workshop to attend together if both parents agree this is more appropriate & suitableto your situation.

Where & when are the workshops held?

We hold workshops in Hampton (TW12) ; Clapham (SW4) and Hammersmith (W6)at locations accessible for parents living in London and Surrey boroughs.

If you are a parent in receipt of benefits or experiencing financial difficulty, we may be able to offer you a place on one of our workshops at a reduced fee so please do ask us.

What if I’m already in Family Court proceedings?

We recognise that every parent’s situation is unique. Booking a place on our parenting program helps you focus on positive solo parenting and demonstrate an understanding your children’s needs. We will issue you with a certificate of attendance on completion.

What if I live too far away to attend a workshop?

We offer personalised Skype meetings based around the Kids Come First workshop content.

Otherwise you might find our personal Separation S.O.S.mentoring sessionsmore suited to your situation. We offer these via Skype or telephone to discuss current issues arising from your separation and advise on dealing with specific parenting issues, managing the conflict and can help support you through any legal processes you are experiencing.
